About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our project includes two project areas and encourages some practical activities to improve the cultural and natural heritage management in terms of environmental prevention, promotion of the territory and community well-being. The aim is to introduce young people, on the one hand, to local culture, traditions and customs and, on the other, to spread good education practices in environmental sustainability and responsible behaviour from an early age. To achieve these goals, the activities will take place in certain locations of historical and environmental importance such as the village of Villa Ficana, an important and historic neighbourhood, and in nursery schools with children between 0 and 3 years old. all six volunteers will be involved in various activities in collaboration with a local organization called i nuovi amici, i.e. work in the organic garden, second-hand shop, and other activities to be specified during the project. the group will be working in 2 small groups of three.

🏠 Accommodation on site

As for food, the volunteer will receive an allowance at the beginning of each month to provide for themselves, plus a monthly allowance to their own needs. Furthermore, the volunteers will be able to use freely the vegetables that they grow seasonally in the Sasso d'Italia organic garden. Lastly, the volunteers will be able to move around by walking because Ficana is only a 15-minute walk from the city centre.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will be assisted by members of the Gruca association to be settled in a new environment, and to solve any problems of a practical and logistic nature. For each project area volunteers will be assigned to a tutor, who will introduce them to the tasks and will support them through the project duration. Gruca will provide the volunteers with a two-month italian course, moreover the opportunity to join the online language support platform provided by the ESC Program. They also will join the On Arrival Training and the Mid Term Evaluation Meeting organized by the National Agency

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
